During the year the number of pald up ordinary members increased from 160 to 174 and there was also one new life member. The Counell wishes to stress, however, that the value of the Association and the work which it can undertake depend very largely on the number of mem- bern and the support which they give. It is suggested that all present members should do their best to introduce new members and to make sure that entrants to the profession aro made aware of the faculties:

They lived together happily until about a year ago, when it is stated the defendant, who is a well-known football player, became altracted by a number of girls. This was resent- ed by the wife, and from then on, relations became rather strained.

On November 11 complainant moved to Warren Street, and stayed with defendant's family until June 16. An argument in the house on June 14 resulted in complainant being struck and driven from the house, causing injuries to her hand and body. The next morning, com- plainant went to see a doctor, and later reported the matter to the Secretariat for Chinese Alairs.

Continuing, Mr. Lau said the com- plainant had always been prepared to agree to an amicable settlement, and on Wednesday afternoon had ailended a meeting where certain terms for a settlement had been made by defendant's solicitor. There terms were later denied by defen- dant

After complainant's given evidence, the validity of the marriage certificate was questioned by the Magistrate, who said it was an important point in the case, and it would be necessary for it to be proved by an expert on Chinese law and customs.

Hearing was then adjourned, until November at 10 a.m.

It is with regret that we have to record the retirement due to ill- health of Sister Bentrice, who has taken a great interest in the Associa- tion since its foundation and will be greatly missed at Council meetings. We are also unfortunate in losing another Counci member, Rev, C. B. R. Sargent, who is leaving the Colony to take up an appointment as Assistant Bishop of Fukten.

The Counell wishes to express its thanks to the Director of Education and Heads of Schools for permission to use rooms for meetings; to Mr. Leung Fung-kel for his work as Librarian; to Mr. Chan Cheuk-wa for acting as business manager of the Journal; and to the Manager of the South China Morning Post for allowing the use of the Board Room for Council meetings and for the library,
